Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Reduce the rate of late complications of catheter-related bacteremia by S. aureus methicillin sensitive below 2%. [18 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Reducing hospital stay associated with the treatment of uncomplicated bacteremia MS S. aureus. [18 months]
- Reduce the transesophagic echocardiography [18 months]
Increase efficiency in the management of patients with bacteremia due to MS S. aureus, reducing the number of echocardiographic evidence
